## Abstract A major limitation of the Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF) is that the finite ensemble size introduces sampling error into the background covariances, with severe consequences for atmospheric and oceanographic applications. The negative effects of sampling error are customarily limited by
## Abstract Analysis sensitivity indicates the sensitivity of an analysis to the observations, which is complementary to the sensitivity of the analysis to the background. In this paper, we discuss a method to calculate this quantity in an Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF). The calculation procedure an
## Abstract We propose an ensemble sensitivity method to calculate observation impacts similar to Langland and Baker (2004) but without the need for an adjoint model, which is not always available for numerical weather prediction models. The formulation is tested on the Lorenz 40‐variable model, an
